Indie Buzz Bootcamp (Part 2): Meeting Bob Baker
Bob Baker is the silly, (admittedly) corny, lackluster, excellent event coordinator I perceived him to be. This ‘in the flesh’ experience was surreal. Like a David Lynch film, with an almost all Country/Americana soundtrack. We were both astonished by some invisible force. We were both enamored with the very fact that we stood side by side discussing nothing intense.
I don’t guess karma was ill; I don’t presume there was behind the mind disdain either. We got along fine for what it’s worth, which is a lot if you went to this event to be, “exorcized”. I mean that comically & seriously. It takes more than an idea and vision to move into reality with your goals. While I have known this all my life, I couldn’t understand how some others, didn’t.
I still call that stupidity; because some of these individuals seemed to be very well articulated. Did they have the catalogue (music) to empower the words shared…I don’t know…..and to some degree, I don’t care. We were there to get away from what most of us would call, “tasting the grime”. Bob is more or less, a bubbly individual with a family that is enjoyably quirky.
Does this meeting change the nature of my perspective on him or those that I deem the ‘how-to’ jockeys? No. But I’ve never decried any of them as ‘not hard working’ or ‘ethically incorrect’. Anyone who is going to want to be an authority on something, I shall challenge. Sometimes until they are sickened but mostly, for fun and for reflective; transition.
Thank you Bob (Baker) for being embracing, accepting, & just closed enough to allow the Hero/Villain aesthetic to allow us the greeting.
